Univision NOW App Launches On Roku

Univision Communications today launched a new way for consumers to access Univision NOW, Univision’s premier direct-to-consumer offering and Hispanic America’s only Spanish-language live streaming and on-demand subscription service. The Univision NOW service is now available to consumers on the Roku platform.

Univision NOW offers exclusive original content; a video on demand library including 2,000 hours of content; live broadcasts of the Univision and UniMás networks; and 72-hour DVR functionality. 

“Our audiences expect a great digital experience from the brand they love,” said Eric Ratchman, Univision EVP of content distribution. “That’s why we are excited to launch our expanded Univision NOW content on the Roku platform, one of the simplest ways to stream entertainment.”

“Univision is one of the premiere destinations for Spanish language programming serving Hispanic America,” said Ed Lee, VP of content acquisition at Roku. “Now, through the Univision NOW channel on the Roku platform, their amazing selection of content will be available to millions of Roku users and we’re extremely excited to have partnered with them on this endeavor.”

Univision NOW is available to users for either a monthly $5.99 or annual $49.99 subscription fee. Additionally, Univision allows consumers who have participating pay TV provider credentials, through TV Everywhere, access to Univision NOW — which it calls “a first among TV broadcast networks to promote the value of pay TV subscriptions by granting those subscribers easy access to all their TV Everywhere content in the same app.”

The Univision NOW experience continues to be available on iOS, Apple TV, Android, and viaUnivisionNow.com on mobile and desktop.

To sign up and download the Univision NOW app, users can visit UnivisionNow.com and receive a seven-day free trial. It’s also available at the Roku Channel Store.
